Surprise. This post is the same month as the last one so I'm definitely getting better at this. This post is about what I've been doing since the last one.
We had family from overseas come to visit and decided to have trip on the Trans Alpine train. For those of you who don't know New Zealand, the South Island has a range of mountains down the middle which are called the Southern Alps. The Trans Alpine train goes from Christchurch on the East Coast to Greymouth on the West Coast and back again. In the middle is Arthurs Pass.
Our family took the train from Greymouth and it rained all the way to the tunnel through the mountains. The tunnel comes out at Arthurs Pass Station and when we emerged it was snowing! Almost a blizzard but a bit gentler. On the way back the next day the sun shone and the snow was thick on the ground. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this journey to anyone, especially if you're a tourist.
Attached are some photos of the snow.
Hopefully I'll keep this blog up to date in future.
Have a good week.
Sue
